Chapter 193: The Swallow Flies South and the Salt is Born

Li Wei's idea is not very right, the current Pei Xingjian has not yet reached the nobility in history, and there are some other famous generals, but they are not as powerful as Pei Xingjian. There are really only two people, Pei Xingjian and Liu Renliang, the Tang Dynasty from south to north, Nanzhao and Lingnan often rebelled, Tubo, Turkic, ***, Tang Dynasty is dangerous.

It wasn't cold yet, but as soon as the wind blew, some cool air hit people.

Some swallows began to fly south, but the swallows in the East Palace did not move.

Liu Qun watched more than a dozen swallows flying above everyone's heads, a little worried, and asked, "Your Highness, what should I do?" ”

"From today onwards, don't feed them anymore, it's good for them."

"I don't know how many swallows will fly back." Bi'er said worriedly.

"This is the inevitable law of biological evolution......" Li Wei stopped here, and said it in vain, and no one may be able to understand it.

"Your Highness, why don't you do this, let Ying'er catch them all and let them spend the winter in the East Palace?"

It doesn't take much to raise more than 20 swallows, but Li Wei shook his head and said, "That's not good, it's more than 20 swallows this year, how many will there be next year, and what about the year after next?" There are thousands of swallows after the East Palace, where to dig so many insect pupae? ”

Even if you can dig, the minister will also be upset.

Li Wei continued: "If they don't move south for a few years, they have forgotten their instincts, and it will not be good to manage them when the time comes, no matter if they will only freeze to death, it will not be beneficial to them." It's like teaching a child, if you are too doting, you may not be filial piety. Let's boil it. ”

So the East Palace began to reduce the food given to the swallows, and these swallows flew around the heads of the people every day to beg for it, and they were pitiful. After staying up for more than ten days, the swallows began to look for food on their own, and then in one night, they all flew away quietly.

Everyone in the East Palace fell silent.

Seeing that everyone was in a bad mood, Li Wei took Bi'er, Wan'er and Wei Yue to Di Renjie's house to relax.

When Di Renjie arrived in Chang'an, he had to buy another house, because of the financial embarrassment and the distance from the imperial city, he had to get up very early every morning and go back late in the evening. Li Wei complained a little, saying why don't you use the money? Di Renjie said that the money should be used when it is used, and it cannot be used on himself.

Li Wei couldn't be convinced, so he had to let him. Di Renjie was not there, and Di Hui and Di Hao also moved from Luoyang to Chang'an. There are more people in Chang'an who know them, and they really don't even dare to go out.

Seeing that the prince was coming, the two girls were very happy.

Li Wei felt very guilty in his heart, it was unfair to them like this, and the reason why it was so hard was because he was the crown prince. But what about the prince, in fact......

After thinking about it for a while, Di Hao had already brought the tea, then looked at Bi'er and said, "Why does Liangyuan look so bad?" ”

After telling the swallows about it, he said worriedly: "They are all spoiled, and now they are flying south, I am really worried about them." ”

Di Hao said: "I have also heard that there are dozens of families whose swallows can't fly away, and the people in the family are worried one by one. ”

Li Wei pinched his nose, the reason why this is the case is because he created it. However, Bi'er's heart is too soft, this is when she meets herself, if it is someone else, she is lucky to ascend the throne, and such a character cannot survive in the palace.

But I regret this kind little girl even more in my heart.

Di Hao said again: "Your Highness is just right, and the concubine and Sister Hui sewed a robe for Your Highness." Autumn is getting deeper, and His Royal Highness is going to change his autumn clothes. ”

"No need, you have sewed a lot of clothes for the lonely, but sew some for yourself."

"Little lady Hui, good little lady, can you teach me the work of embroidering red?"

"Liangyuan, you don't have to, serve His Highness, not only embroidered red, but also others. The concubine is very envious...... "But looking at Li Wei, his eyes are very soft, and he is pitiful." The prince is a good prince, unprecedented in the ages, and before he succeeded to the throne, the people began to enjoy happiness. And there is so much learning. But the prince is not very happy, and none of the women he likes can enter the palace except for the little Liangyuan in front of him. As for the daughter of the Pei family, because of Pei Yan's matter, the prince faded again.

It is difficult to find perfection in the things of the world. is the emperor, who is in power, but his health is not good, his eyes are not good, and he is not satisfied......

After sitting for a while, Wei Yue and Shangguan Wan'er couldn't sit still, Li Wei glanced at it and said, "Bi'er, you take them to your house for a walk." ”

Bi'er, her father and her two elder brothers all became petty officials, and they also moved out and moved to Yongningfang, where the place was also more spacious than the original and closer to the palace, but usually, Bi'er was not very good to go home to visit relatives, but she didn't go back once. Hearing Li Wei's words, Bi'er was a little hesitant, and Li Wei said again: "Just go and take a look, come back immediately, don't be public, the officials don't talk much." ”

"Hmm," Bi'er left with the two little loli.

Li Wei turned his head and said, "Now, you have some hard work. ”

"The concubine and the good sister don't feel it."

"Lone knows that he can't come out if he is locked up at home, don't mention it, it's mainly torment, and he needs to wait." Li Wei said as he pondered whether to persuade his mother. The two girls are not greedy for status, they just enter the East Palace, and there are not many people who know their identities. Seal a emblem and show training, and it is possible that there will not even be people who pay attention.

But now it can't be estimated, my father doesn't know why, he has always been very angry with himself, he only said one sentence, Liu Renliang can't enter Beijing, and his father was immediately furious, so scared that he didn't dare to speak anymore. Di Renjie was investigating, Wang Cainian was investigating, but he didn't get any clues.

Could it be that my father is really menopause?

"Your Highness, say so, and kill us. In fact, His Highness can often come over and see us, and his heart is very satisfied. Di Hui said. After all, their backgrounds are not very good, and even once they were ready to be other people's concubines. It's just that it doesn't matter if you are a concubine, you have to have a good character, don't look for an old businessman to marry like Guiyan, or a concubine...... I never thought that I would have a handover with the prince in this life. In Li Wei's previous life, as a modern person, he couldn't turn the problem around for a while, but in their hearts, he was not in a hurry. His identity, although his father-in-law was properly settled, but after all, he stayed in the Qinglou, this is not a story and gossip in the market, it is real life, how difficult is it to enter the East Palace? How many years did the queen survive back then, and even became a nun for a time. The queen doesn't want to do it, but it's a must.

Li Wei was still unhappy.

The identity of this prince does not bring much benefit to himself, but it is difficult step by step, even the person he likes is not accepted as a wife, it is just a side room, it is still difficult, and the best time for a girl now is only from the age of sixteen or seventeen to the early twenties. Not only do they have to stay up, but they can't even go out of the door, which is too unfair to them.

Di Hao saw that he was unhappy, so he comforted him in turn and said: "Your Highness, it's really fine, as long as Your Highness has this heart, the concubine will die immediately, and she will be happy." But, Your Highness, come. ”

Pulled Li Wei into the room, and called Di Hui in, Di Hui blushed, and walked into the room hesitantly, Di Hao closed the door and said: "Your Highness, when the concubine and Sister Hui were making clothes, I saw that His Highness liked it, and sewed two more clothes, Your Highness, take a look." ”

This time there was a screen in the middle of the room, and the two girls hid behind the screen to change their clothes, and came out after a while, wearing a lady's skirt, with a few green lotus ribbons floating down their shoulders, but the chest was very low, and the skirt was extremely thin, and it appeared and disappeared from time to time. That day, the prince kissed them on the chest, which made the two girls shy and surprised. Although the conduct is noble, the environment in which he grows is in the Qinglou, and he hears and sees a lot. The prince is also human, and he likes it just as much when he sees this mood. But because of their personalities, they have always been embarrassed to put them on for Li Wei to see, but they only wore them out when they saw that the prince was unhappy.

Di Hao asked shyly, "Does Your Highness like it?" ”

"Lonely, I like it." Li Wei replied with difficulty. Then he walked over, took the two girls in his arms, and this time took a few big strides and rubbed a lot of oil. It made him horny, and the two little girls were also panting. After all, in his early twenties, he also has feelings and desires. But for fear of going off, he didn't dare to move the final limit, but it was even more uncomfortable. I can't scream in my heart, Yanfu is there, at least I didn't dare to hug left and right so openly in my previous life, let alone this kind of stunning girl. The two girls also reached the time to pick, but they couldn't pick themselves......

The harvest was all up.

Mainly beans, this year to encourage people to use rotational fields to plant beans, of course, beans can accumulate fertilizer, but when growing it is necessary to fertilizer, the accumulation is only nitrogen fertilizer, and potassium and phosphorus and other fertilizers have nothing to do. Therefore, the beans do not grow very well. But when the people see the autumn harvest and the benefits, there are more people who believe in it, and there will be more people who will plant beans next year. In fact, there are more people planting milk vetch, at least in Guanzhong, the people who grow milk vetch are very common.

After all, this year is just an experiment, and the increase in output is not obvious, and if you want to be obvious, it may be two or three years away. Just a sign that gives everyone hope.

Joy after joy, there is another good news.

Earth Horse and Liang Jinzhu began to officially go to the book, and the salt came out, and they tossed for a long time before they were officially put into production. Once again, he took the initiative to ask the imperial court to collect taxes, and the cost of salt was very low, so the imperial court was required to levy a tax of ten cents per bucket of salt. The fold is not very well written, but it is written in great detail, and even the cost is marked, and the mass production may only cost two or three cents per bucket of salt. In addition, the fifteen wen tax levied by the imperial court, including the freight, was only twenty-five wen when it was transported to Guanzhong. A bucket of salt is fifty catties, which is the price of thirty wen and thirty-five wen, which is several times lower than the current salt price. Of course, the current production is still very low, but it can ensure that by the end of the year, more than 100,000 buckets of salt can be produced per day. This is a very conservative figure, about 1,000 tons, not to mention the others, even the large salt pans purchased by the two of them are enough to ensure more than half of this production.

This book shocked the imperial court, and it was not much money for fifteen cents. But 100,000 dou is 1.5 million yuan, which is also not a lot for the imperial court, only 1,500 yuan, and in a year, it is more than 50,000 yuan, which is enough to offset half of the income of the court's usury.

If you add sugar.

This year, the production of cane sugar is very large, and there are other merchants who will also concoct dried salt in the future, and the imperial court participates...... That's not 50,000 yuan, maybe 400,000 and 500,000 yuan. Of course, the account cannot be calculated in this way, the imperial court has some salt and salt lakes, and also has some income. The price of salt fell, and the imperial court also suffered losses, of course, if the salt was cheap, the salt would be used more, and the people would have to use it for food, even livestock, and other uses, and even some livestock skins could be exchanged for the Turks. It's not a good account. But after roughly settling the accounts, almost all the ministers gasped.

"Righteous businessman," Dai Zhide said with a sigh.

If you don't take the initiative to raise taxes, the court has no choice, and it's a big deal that some officials will benefit when you pass the checkpoint. In any case, these two active taxation caused countless losses to Liang Jinzhu and Earth Ponies.

Even the arrogant Li Jingxuan also sighed: "In fact, with the merits of the two of them, it is possible to really produce 50,000 buckets of salt every day, and reward a few idle jobs." ”

Li Zhi just closed his eyes, was silent for a long time, and said: "This Dao book is approved, and the edict will be drafted according to their wishes." ”

There's too much money, it's not a turn, and unlike the others, there's not much resistance. But after finishing speaking, he waved his sleeves and said, "You guys go down." ”

There was no mention of the reward, so Dai Zhide and the others stepped back, and then said to the eunuch beside him: "Call the prince." ”

"Ah," the eunuch replied.

Li Zhi was thinking in his heart, should it be time to have a good talk with this son. Li Wei didn't know, but Li Zhi knew more about him than Li Wei thought. It doesn't matter if the son makes sorghum, he endures it for his wife to get cotton, but he hides the big head, these things come out, and he may bring tens of thousands of dollars of income every year, in addition to 10,000 yuan to his wife, it is easy to understand that cotton was only planted at that time, and it costs money. If you give it to Di Renjie, you won't be angry, and you need Di Renjie to take care of it for him. As a prince, he has also done it. This is not the reason for being angry, but what is he doing with so much money left!

So Li Zhi is not very down-to-earth in his heart, with this idea, how can he be happy with Li Wei? (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to ***(***.***) to vote for recommendation, ***, your support is my biggest motivation. )
